Curation: Beyond the Buzzword

April 5, 2017

Curation has existed for centuries as a means of assembling, managing, and presenting some type of collection. In the digital age, curation has emerged as a major tool in reducing the onslaught of “noise” we receive online so that we can concentrate on what’s important. It’s for this reason that curation has become a popular buzzword in learning and development, and people look to it as a way to reinvent many practices to be more effective.

This Spotlight gathers four experts on the subject of curation to look beyond the buzzword and explore curation’s current and future value. They will examine what the real opportunities are for curation, explore examples of it in practice, and separate the fact from the fiction in today’s curation conversation. Join in and learn how you can take advantage of the opportunities curation makes possible for your organization.
